A Love Letter to 007 Fans
The Engineering team hit this one out of the park.
Pros:
1. No studshooters, 2. Some printed pieces, 3. Several license plate stickers for alternate versions, 4. The seats fold forward and enough room for a passenger laying down.
Cons:
1. Too many stickers, needed more print pieces, 2. The gray of the stickers didn't match the gray pieces which should have had clear back stickers, 3. The back of the top glass was too dark and should have had stickers for the B-pillars, 4. Would have been nice to have an extra hairpiece in black for a Sean Connery alternate, 5. The fender wells are flared out, should be flat to the side of the body, 6. Some steps in the instructions were not clear.
All in all, a Great build with some interesting techniques for a challenge build.

The G.O.A.T of speed champions
I am a huge James Bond fan. I even have all the bond movies. When I first time I saw the creator expert one I was in awe the looks are not bad but it’s the build and the features are on another planet. But it’s little to boxy and flat. Overall it’s a great set clever building techniques. When I first saw the speed champion one I was on cloud nine it’s pretty accurate and a one of a kind Daniel Craig James Bond figure. Clever building techniques and the curves is pretty good flowing lines. But it’s has some flaws 1.the back windshield is a little too dark and it doesn’t have the side wing mirrors and the shade of stickers doesn’t bother me at all. I give it a 9.5 out of 10

A very handsome car with a very bad paint job
The car is a sleek representation of the original, and the 007 tie-in is a welcome addition to the Speed Champions theme. What takes away from the design are the two large stickers on the doors. They do not match the color of the rest of the vehicle and marr the overall look of the built. At the premium prices LEGO charges, the doors should have been prints. (Modifications could be made by cutting out the door handles or leaving the door stickers off altogether, but LEGO's quality department should have intervened so as to not force customers into having to improve a major flaw of an otherwise great-looking set.)

Great for LEGO fans and James Bond Fans!
This set was a fun building experience with interesting building techniques that I have not seen in a set of this scale before. The James Bond Minifigure is excellent and accurately represents the Daniel Craig version of the character. I don't ever enjoy the stickers, but I can deal with normal sized stickers. However, some of the stickers in this set were extremely small and I unfortunately destroyed one. Eh, whatever. The amount of detail packed in such a small car is honestly insane to me. Also, they finally did 4 seats in total! Probably one of my favorite sets ever and I haven't even seen all of the James Bond movies.

My Review on the the 007 Aston Martin DBS set
Picked up this set for an amazing price and in which it caught my eye since there was multiple of them on the shelves. And I like it's nice smooth look it has. but I do have some features about this set that I dislike. For example the back molded plastic glass piece comes of way too easily. And the amount of licence plates it comes with. And not to mention needing to place all the small stickers on those licence plates. But overall amazing sell will recommend.

Excellent model, almost perfect
I cannot praise the design team enough! It’s very hard for me to imagine a more accurate translation of the real car to LEGO form, all that while keeping in mind that this is intended to be a mass produced set with easy to follow instructions.
The build experience was as relaxing as LEGO can offer and the end result is something I am pleased to have displayed on my desk. However, there is one production issue with the set: the stickers. There is an upsetting contrast between the colour of the LEGO bricks themselves and the colour of the stickers, so I would recommend either keeping some of them off or cutting out the small details from the sticker sheet (ie the door handles and air intakes). It is a relatively easy fix so I am not too bothered by it.

Very good set, but
Besides the stickers, this set is great. The build is entertaining and rewarding. However, the box says 8+. I have been building expert models for over 10 years and rarely make a mistake. Instructions for this specific set are often not clear; I found myself taking the build apart twice to place extraneous pieces. Recalling my experiences as an 8-year-old, I don't think I would be able to complete this build, or I would find it frustrating. The building techniques utilized for some steps are relatively complex. If you are gifting this, I would take the age of the child into consideration. I would recommend this set for ages 10+ instead.

007 Aston Martin #76911
This was a fun build. I have only built a handful of sets so far. Well, since I was a kid that is. I had the big denim bag w a drawstring that you could just open right up in the middle of the living room. (The one no one used) that living room. And have a blast. These last few builds have brought me right back to that mauve carpet at my grandma's house. Love you grand mom. Soo in conclusion great build, looks good on my shelf w the others. More shelves to come.
